1. Expanded MAP Spring 2008 PowerPoint Presentation Prepared by The Assessment Section, DESE Revised February 22, 2008

2. Expanded MAP Spring 2008 This PowerPoint presentation contains the following: MAP guidelines and calibrations with NCLB; A brief history of MAP; An overview of the test development process; The design of the 2008-2009 MAP content areas; The Blueprints; and Information about ancillary materials and reference sheets.

3. Expanded MAP Spring 2008 The expanded MAP complies with NCLB and includes annual grade-level tests in Communication Arts and Mathematics (spring 2006) and the revised grade-span tests in Science (spring 2008). Student performance will be reported using 4 achievement levels.

4. A Brief History of the MAP 1993 Outstanding Schools Act passed by the Missouri Legislature and signed by the governor 1996 Show-Me Standards approved by the Missouri State Board of Education

5. A Brief History of the MAP (con’t.) 1996 Frameworks for Curriculum Development published 1997 Annotations to the Curriculum Frameworks published 1998 First required year for Mathematics MAP test

6. A Brief History of the MAP (con’t.) 1999 First required year for Communication Arts and Science tests 2000 First required year for Social Studies test 2001 Mathematics Curriculum Supplement published

7. A Brief History of the MAP (con’t.) 2001 No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) passed by US Congress 2004 Grade-Level Expectations published 2005 Last year for grade-span tests in Communication Arts and Mathematics

8. Characteristics of the Expanded MAP The grade-level Mathematics and Communication Arts MAP tests include items derived directly from the GLE’s. The grade-level Mathematics and Communication Arts MAP tests are shorter but just as rigorous as the grade- span MAP tests.

9. Characteristics of the Expanded MAP (con’t.) The Communication Arts and Mathematics tests include the following types of questions: Selected Response (SR) Constructed Response (CR) Performance Event (PE)/Writing Prompt (WP) Embedded Field Test Items (FT) The Science tests will be given at grades 5, 8, and 11, starting in the spring of 2008. The tests are aligned to current GLE’s and also include SR, CR, PE and FT items.

18. Ancillary Materials for the Mathematics MAP tests Reference Sheets Grades 3 through 7 will not be provided a reference sheet. Necessary formulas and conversions will be included with the item. Grades 8 and 10 will be provided with a reference sheet that contains formulas and conversions.

19. Ancillary Materials for the Mathematics MAP Tests (con’t.) Calculators Grades 3 through 5 are not allowed to use calculators during any session of the test. Grades 6 through 10 may not use calculators during Session 2 Part 1. If schools choose to use calculators on the other parts of the test, students should be told in advance and given access to a calculator.

20. Ancillary Materials for the Mathematics MAP Tests (con’t.) Manipulatives Students are given a standard set of manipulatives for use during the test. No other classroom manipulative materials are allowed.
